  1. Some interesting developments being announced today by old mate Fitzpatrick....

    No more Grand Final replay in the event of a tie, there'll be overtime split into 2 halves (5 minutes each half), if scores are level at the end of OT, they'll play on until somebody scores and the siren will not sound until such time as a team scores..

    Which begs the question, how will the players know that the 2nd half of OT has finished if there's no siren to make it known?

    Watching a few footy shows this week and the general consensus of the players is that if scores are level at the end of OT, it should be next goal wins not next score. To me, this is better.

    Also, should this apply to home and away games and we get rid of the draw? I think so.

    Any thoughts?

    YES WILL....What if team A in extra time kicks or rushes 6 behinds then team B kicks a goal....

    Either first score wins it or you have shoot out after extra time if still level....me i think the NFL sudden death is cleaner first score of extra time wins the game...game over in a few min.....of course on the restart both teams will push every player forward to the centre bounce and you can imagine what it will look like...

    Really the logical way is no warning first score wins if drawn at full time.

    Looks like you're in the minority mate.

    Fan furore over 'golden point' for drawn GF​

    FOOTBALL fans overwhelmingly disagree with the AFL's decision to have a premiership decided by 'golden point' in the event of scores being level at the end of extra time in a drawn Grand Final.

    The AFL announced on Tuesday that the Grand Final replay would be scrapped in favour of extra time if scores were level at the end of four quarters.

    The teams would play two five-minute halves each way, plus time on, as has occurred previously in other finals in 1994 and 2007.

    It was also confirmed that if scores were level at the end of the second half of extra time then play would continue until the next score, with either a point or a goal being sufficient to secure the premiership.

    Following Tuesday's announcement, AFL.com.au conducted a poll on social media asking fans which option they would prefer, first score wins or first goal wins.

    At the time of publication, nearly 17,000 fans had voted on both Facebook and Twitter with more than 84 per cent of voters thinking that the first goal should win.

    YES WILL....what do you expect from the public?

    They all want to live a period home with the latest gadgets and kitchens, all want to drive the latest car they all want salary increases every year but they want there football teams to stand still...and that goes for the game too....

    Do you recall the introduction of the interstae clubs? the WhoHar of the Swans being relocated to Sydney, the fall out form Fitzroy being swallowed up by Brisbane....

    Same in building mate...every new development is an issue with residents, the state government want to put in a type of sky rail and oh the drama the folks along the line think....like its the end of the world....

    The fact is the NFL do it, FIFA (soccer) do it....were out of step with the rest of the world man.

    Afl is not bloody soccer thank christ. If it starts adopting the ways of that silly game where players cry if the accidently make contact the the game is dead. Unlike soccer, football is a contact sport.

  2. I lived many years in Pattaya.

    Never, never have I seen Thais men beat a stranger for no reason.

    I believe that this information is incomplete.

    So the comments that follow will be pure fanciful speculations as usual.

    Thais beat and murder strangers in Melbourne, Australia for absolutly no reason and there are less of them there than in Thailand.
  3. Since Depp and his wife broke the law they have been seen as the victims. Depp's wife made a false declaration on a legal document in Australia. She broke the law, lied and made a false declaration knowing full well it carried 10 years imprisonment. Americans laugh, ridicule and treat Australians as a backwood 4th world country and we understand that. We will never be equal to Americans, the superior race. We do have laws and beg you to obey them not bare your arse and shit on us

    Lol, sounds like a personal problem to me . . . I suppose you wanted to see poor Boo and Pistol euthanized. The hang them doggies high brigade. No one views anyone as victims. The world didn't stop rotating. Boo and Pistol made it home and did not spread the black doggies plague across Australia. Australia would do better guaranteeing some folks than Boo and Pistol if they are really concerned about the health and welfare of their country.

    If any fun is to be poked, it is attitudes like this and the spectacle that fat blubbering idiot, Barnacle Joyce, made that make all of this such a pathetic joke.

    No I didn't want to see the dogs put down. I wanted to see Americans obey Australian laws when visiting the country and not spitting in the face of locals.
  4. Wattana and breaking the law in the same sentence. No surprises there.

    If he is not breaking the law he is trying to absolve others that broke it.

    Yes, yes. All in the name of democracy!!

    Hear, hear. All the red shirt should have their human rights revoked!

    Why? Because......Thaksin!

    everyone has had their rights revoked. Everyone now reluctantly bows before the Lord and master Prayuth and if they don't, then may God have mercy on their souls.

  6. Soooooo...care to enlighten me ...again: what was "abnormal' and "illegal" about the Thaksin/ Yingluk- thingy?

    Yes they did it also but this is about Prayuth the man who vowed to stamp out the old ways. He has proved himself a hypocrite and exactly the same as all that came before him. He has the trough now. He will be overthrown, charged, new reforms and constitution drawn up. A military coup will occur and a new general in power. The wheel will keep turning this is thai politics.
  7. The prime minister asked critics not to view the case as a family affairs because of the Chan-ocha surname saying that he might change his surname so the case should be over.

    You need to be a skilled comedian to make statements like that clap2.gif

    The guy has certainly missed his calling in stand up comedy...... or has he? is this whole PM thing his most elaborate joke yet. gigglem.gifgigglem.gif

    his stage name is Uncle Too and as he has publically stated before "I'm a funny guy."
  8. I wish that they would arrest these opposition leaders and detain them in another province - Isaan for instance.

    Then "Bangkokians" would be free of all this demontration and burning and unrest - and could go on with our lifes.

    They were arrested and their only crime is having an opinion they didn't burn or destroy anything.
  9. oh dear......jail for what!.......pisser of an apology video..............Depp looked so bemused-don't blame him....tell australian authorities to F themselves i say.....

    Depp has more class and charisma than any of these hack toads.....

    Just Australian authorities or authorities world wide? Maybe you're American and consider yourself superior. Laws of lands apply to everyone. Next time the police speak to you in Thailand or wherever tell them to go F themselves and see what happens.
